An empowered group of Ministers (eGoM) headed by Finance Minister P Chidambaram has decided a floor price of Rs 85-90 a share for 17% follow on public issue (FPO) of PowerGrid Corporation of India, way lower than its Current Market Price (CMP) of Rs 93.45.

The issue, which opens on December 3 and closes on December 5 for institutional investors and December 6 for retail category of investors and employee, is expected to fetch the company a sum of close to Rs 5,717 crore and the government close to Rs 1,758 crore. Post the stake sale, the Government’s holding in PowerGrid will come down to 57.89% from the current 69.42%.

Meanwhile, five merchant bankers -- SBI Capital Markets, Kotak Securities, Citigroup, ICICI Securities and UBS -- are advising PowerGrid on its FPO for 17% stake sale, comprising 4% stake dilution by Government and 13 per cent fresh equity by the company.

Further, the retail category and employees shall be given a discount of 5% on the issue price. A discount of Rs 4.50 (which is 5% of the top end of the price band) will be available to retail investors and eligible employees on the issue price on allotment.
